Even witches like to dress up as princesses

OK there is a story behind this card ... Ellie asked Beth which witch costume she was going to wear for trick or treating (a bit on the early side I know but Ellie does like to be organised and organise!!) ... Beth replied that she was going to wear her new Rapunzel outfit.  Ellie pointed out that Rapunzel isn't very witchy  - to which Beth responded ... "Well witches might like to dress up like princesses sometimes!!!!  Hence the image and sentiments!!!

I coloured the image in using my pens before grunging it up a bit using pumice stone distress ink and my trusty TH paper distresser, and adding stickles.  The dp and sentiments have been distressed and i added some webbing, ribbon and a fussy bow, layered flowers with a pearl centre and pearl pin,and a spider's web.  The top sentiment was a freebie on the Tiddly ink fb page, and the bottom one was computer generated.  Finally a couple of wee bats to finish it off.  Spookily cute!!
